remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With Vour
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money

ful, for all druggists invite you and
expeet you to try it. Everybody's
doing it. —
When your cold or cough is re¬
lieved, take the remainder of the bottle
home to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is by far the safest and most
t Vetivg, the easiest to take and the

SPELLS DEATH OF
PERFECTWOMEN
Famous South Sea Belles Ara
Now a Drunken, Degraded
Race.
LIVE IN AN ALLURING EDEN
Remnant of Marquesan Race Is B»*
yond Redemption — French Can
Only Allow Natives to Die Off
as Speedily as Possible.
Washington.—‘‘There can be no
doubt that today this drunken, disease
ridden remnant of the Marquesan race
Is beyond redemption and all the
French colonial administration can do
Is to pursue Its present policy of nomi¬
nal supervision and let the natives die
off as speedily as possible.”
Such Is the pathetic epitaph, written
by John W. Church, In a communica¬
tion to the National Geographic so¬
ciety, of a people whose women were
pronounced the most beautiful in the
south seas, whose dances were the
most joyous, whose tattooing was a
fine art and whose island home was
an alluring Eden before the white man
came.
‘‘To describe the dainty, graceful
Marquesanne as she unquestionably
was, will, I fear, lay me open to the
charge of exaggeration,” writes Mr.
Church.
Attractions Beyond Compare.
"When a woman possesses beauti¬
ful, luxuriant hair, fine eyes, perfect
teeth, a slender, graceful form, a skin
of velvet texture and unblemished sur¬
face, and these physical attractions
are combined with a vivacity of spirit
and action exaggeration becomes diffi¬
cult and unless all chroniclers of the
Islands have for several centuries
agreed to deceive the world such was
the Marquesanne, and so she is today
when sickness has not diminished her
charm.
“1 doubt seriously if a more carefree
or contented maiden ever existed. Her
domestic duties were light and agree¬
able. The furnishings of her thatched
shelter consisted of a few pandanus
sleeping mats—nothing more. Outside
on the stone platform was an assort¬
ment of bowls, crudely carved by thg
men In their Intervals from warfare.
These held polpol, fish, fruit or what¬
ever of food might be prepared for the
only dally meal.
"Then there were dainty coconut
shells, ground thin and polished by
rubbing on stone under water, often
carved, which held the coco oil and
other preparations for the toilet, dear
to the heart of the Marquesanne.
"I have mentioned the use of coco
oil by the Marquesans. Probably no
race ever attained a greater skill in
the art of massage—certainly none
ever practiced it more constantly. The
oil was obtained by filling large wood¬
en bowls with the meat of broken- co¬
conuts and plncing them in the sun.
Into the oil thus drawn the intensely
fragrant blossoms of pua or the seeds
of the spicy, aromatic lime were
thrown, scenting it with a delightful
perfume.
Much Time Spent at Toilet.
“Men and women alike were dally
massaged with this scented oil, every
muscle being gently manipulated, with
a skiirseldom found In a modern mas¬
seuse. Usually twQ or three hours
were required for the operation. At
Its conclusion the skin was like velvet
in texture, without a trace of oldness.
They treated their hair In a similar
manner and the wonderful, luxuriant
tresses were probably due to the at¬
tention given them in the use of coco
oil and massage.
“Beyond the preparation of the sin
gle dally meal, her massage and such
tappa or mat making as desire or ne¬
cessity prompted, the life of the Mar¬
quesanne was devoted entirely to
pleasure.
“The marriage of the Marquesan
mnlden to the yonth of her choice was
an Interesting ceremony. A home for
their occupation was built by their
friends and the various necessities for !
connubial happiness placed therein.
“The maiden was taken in charge by j
several young matrons, to be mas- J
saged with perfumed oils and her hair j
and body decorated with wreaths and j
garlands of flowers. The youth was i
consigned to the ministrations of two j
older women, who rendered him a slra-,
liar service, besides smoking him thor¬
oughly with the fumes of sandalwood.
At the appointed time the scented and
garlanded pair were escorted by the
village to their fae, or hut, where the
king with much ceremony declared
them tapu for two weeks.
“For the period of the tapu none
might speak to them or In any way
disturb their honeymoon. Food was
left each morning on their terrace, to¬
gether with baskets of flowers to bo
woven into wreaths and garlands by
the happy couple.”
Painful Accident Amusing.
Shilbyville, Ind.—Speed C. Means,
living about three miles southeast of
this city, was the victim of a painful
but a musing accident recently while
attempting to prevent a cow £*om chok¬
ing to death on a pumpkin which ft
had eaten. Means put his arm into
the cow’s mouth and throat In order
to pull out the pumpkin which had
choked the animal, when suddenly
“Brlndle” decided to close her mouth,
and as a consequence Means received
a badly lacerated hand and forearm
and cannot use them.
